Matt Pless - Portland lyrics

Highway take me anywhere but here Far from the trappings of my memory where I can disappear And wake up where I'll find myself alone Among the ghosts who haunt the open road Who never found a home Cause I can hear you singing in The distance with your mandolin Silhouette against the burning sky Heading west with Portland on your mind I found inspiration in your eyes That count the miles down the interstate along the exit signs To new horizons I can call my own And so I'm heading where the gypsies go And crazy dreamers roam Cause I can hear you singing in The distance with your mandolin Silhouette against the burning sky You're running where you've got no name And everything begins again Trade it in and leave it all behind Heading west with Portland on your mind So fade away where twilight plays its song And sends you dancing through the rolling hills Where mountains break the sun And laughing shadows flash against the stones Between where yesterday's mistakes Create tomorrow's wild unknown Cause I can hear you singing in The distance with your mandolin Silhouette against the burning sky I'm sorry, babe, but I can't stay I'm bound to ramble all my days I hope you know you had me at goodbye Heading west with Portland on your mind
